the cycle of bad art

It has come to my attention that some bad, annoying artists have recently received large grants. They are teachers at college institutions with titles like "professor." Sometimes at more than one institution even - an idea I find almost laughable. They are invited to speak and give studio visits at important places. I suppose it is possible that these persons have undergone some kind of metamorphosis since I was acquainted with their art but I am suspicious. I fear they are going to spread the cycle of badness.
